how to smoke salmon

[fishkiller13]

hey we've been catching a lot of fish lately so I thought we might want to smoke some of them but we don't have a smoker i was wondering how we would smoke it on the BBQ or something?

Pick yourself up a Big or Little Chief to start. For true smoked salmon you must brine and have a contolled temperature. Good Luck eman

Hey FD did you have the Big Chief that opened in the front? I prefered the top load on my Big and Little Chiefs. I can certainly see the advantages of a front load for sure. I kinda thought the front load would lose to much heat when you wanted to check out it's progress. Although I did learn early to to make sure your trays are tied down to the frame, as one day I went to drop a fully loaded rack into my Big Chief and one leg got caught and the whole load of racks hit the dirt. Live and learn as they say.

Mine is a top loader , i believe once loaded , you can use the top to check your progress still , the pic shows a handle on the top , as the older ones like mine ,
